Jetblue New Hires

[StarChecker]

6 year guy here. I don't hate it here. I enjoy my job. But we do need a CBA. New guys - This may be better than your last job but remember this is supposed to be a career destination. We need to make it into one and protect it as such.

Very well said.

JB has hired some of our Fos with nearly zero Pic

my reason for this is that it is strategy by the company. They hire folks that are so excited to be hired out of the regional ranks, that they will not strive to fight for better benefits or union here due to it being much better than (insert airline here). Also when attrition strikes, and it will when the majors start hiring, they will be stuck without PIC to go anywhere else. Hopefully the individuals realize this and will help band together to get stuff improved. Not trying to stereotype either as I know 0pic guys personally here that are great folks that want improvements as well.

Agree. That is why they do it.

I dont doubt it, but that will bite them in the a$$ when everyone is on the top level of the payscale and no intentions of going anywhere. Like AA is currently

I'm not sure the company will even make it that far without a M/A etc.

That idiot Yates got voted in. WTF. We had a guy up for vote in our silo that came from the DHL MEC and that idiot Yates got voted in. UGH. It's almost as bad as the day I found out that Obama got voted in. Now all of you old guys can say us new guys are idiots. Unfortunately these are my peers that voted him in.

He has not been voted in. The last election was just a runoff to narrow down the field. The final vote is going right now so vote for Clap. We have to keep this guy Yates (who incidently got 8th place his junior year at Delta State in Power off Landings in a flight team competition according to his websiteuke off the PVC
